Yes, I know the bus/taxi situation however my friend opted out of renting a vehicle...so, a 3 hr bus ride/hitchhike to les salines it will be.

I am also joining cruiseship small taxi tours and negotiating the costs for both of us. Basically we will be +2 for bums in seats when trip is not full (and driver gets 100% of our euros)

Then, i linked up with opt in boat company for day tours.

And we are getting groceries delivered rather than stopping at the maCarrefour on our way from the airport.

If all goes sideways, theres lexpress des iles to Dominica. But lets not go overboard.... jk....

we been trekking to cypress cove. to be honest it is way better than Blind Creek which is way better than Haulover (when the lot is open) and second in nude beaces to club orient.

ive been negative with the improvements to blind creek ( haventt been in half a year) but i hope i can find a striped parking spot i. the fancy lot. if i cant park on A1A it will be a while before se re attempt.

the Cove is the best place on earth with Club O destroyed.

Sorry, this board is not the place to discuss swinging.

I have been to Grand Lido Negril a few times and plan to go back soon!

I completely agree with the responses here.

For me, I love that nudity is officially required in all pool areas, including those attached to swim-out rooms. Guests are permitted to walk nude between their rooms and the pool, and nudity is common in and around the pool area. The "Au Natural" side of the resort is the only area where nudity is allowed, including the pool, boardwalk, and sometimes the lobby.

They do not have their own dedicated restaurant where guests can dine in the nude. Meals are typically served outdoors at the pool area, allowing guests to eat lunch and snacks on their beach loungers without clothing. For breakfast, there is an outdoor area with limited food choices where clothing is required, some walk to the buffet at the sister Royalton resort, where clothing is mandatory. All formal restaurants are located at the neighboring Royalton resorts, and guests must dress appropriately when dining there.

Service varied, with some slow lunch service. And yes, the drink quality was inconsistent depending on the bartender. Reserving poolside chairs with towels is a must for the preferred spots.

I enjoyed my stays and I am going again but there are some of caveats that I mentioned.

I can second all of the above as I have fond memoies of each of these countries.

I add Turks and Roatan, Hondurus.

Caveat: i haven't made it yet to t&c, mostly because years ago when maid service, etc was common, the resort host tacked on $250usd for departure cleaning (way before airbnb normalized this). And, as I always had weekly cleaning incl in my rentals 7yrs ago, this rubbed me the wrong way. No cleaning and a $250 fee...nah, im not doing linens laundry AND paying $350 cad.

Be sure to ask the right questions if you are booking privately.
